- Kikuchi will meet with the Seattle Mariners, New York Mets, New York Yankees, and Cleveland Indians tomorrow.

NOTE: I'll be updating this thread with whatever updates come out from today's meetings.

The Texas Rangers brought along Derek Holland to help recruit Kikuchi. They also brought along a panel that featured an image of 18-year-old Ryo Ishikawa. The San Francisco Giants brought along their single A Japanese trainer.

And Logan White said that he won't tell Kikuchi not to go to any NPB clubs (I guess he's trying to make a point about Japanese clubs making a point to tell Kikuchi not to go to the Majors and stay in Japan).

- The Giants attended the meetings with John Cox, Shun Kakuzu (Japan Office Head), and Yukiya Oba (single A trainer).

- Jon Deeble: "Saying everything you want to say in such a short amount of time is really difficult. We just basically exchanged introductions and spoke about a few general issues. I think we made a good impression."

- The Dodgers attended the meetings with Logan White and Keiichi Kojima (chief scout in Japan).

- The Los Angeles Dodgers apparently want Kikuchi to become the next "Jackie Robinson," ala to become the first highly rated high school prospect to pick the Majors over the NPB. White also made a joke about Dodger Stadium having a lot of bathrooms (Kikuchi continued to clean toilets despite being the team ace).
